Welcome to Gaia! ::

So... this is their first real RP together... but it stems from the PMed RP Anaya and I were doing so I've compiled that together in the first post and we'll be finishing the rest here smile

Oroitz - Wait... what just happened? Human... what did you do? *stares wide eyed in fear* How come I don't get a choice??

Spiral: Hi! ^_^ *pounces on Oroitz*

Oroitz: *is pounced and curls into a tight little ball in reaction* ... *cautiously uncurls himself and stares at the female* H-hel... er... H-h-hello. *sighs with relief when he finally manages to get that out*

Spiral: Don't be shy! I'm not gonna bite. * giggles and licks his face*

Oroitz: *stares at her as if questioning the truth of her statement only to jump backwards and stare incredulously after she licks him* What'd you lick me for?! *wipes a paw over the wet spot on his cheek*

Spiral: *pouts* Just a friendly lick. *she gets close to him again* here you can lick me back to make it even.

Oroitz: *scurries backwards as she comes closer, afraid she'll lick him again* No... that's ok, really, it's fine, you just surprised me is all.

Spiral: aww c'mon. *she lays down sadly* You can't be afraid of me forever.

Oroitz: *steps closer* I am not... afraid... of you. I just am not used to being around females. My name is Oroitz, it's a pleasure to meet you.

Spiral: *grins happily, bouncing back to her feet* I'm Spiral! It's great to meet you. Now we can be friends! *giggles*

Oroitz: Spiral hmm? I can see why. *smiles happily and does a play bow before pouncing at her then turning and running away* You're it!

Spiral: yay! *laughs delightedly and gives chase to Oroitz*

Oroitz: *looks over his shoulder to see her catching up and then turns his gaze back to where he's going only to trip over a rock and tumble head first down an embankment into a pond* AHHHH! *sits up in the pond and stares around him, dazed*

Spiral: *splashes into the pond after him panting* You alright? *she asked gently nudging him with her nose*

Oroitz: *looks at her as she touches him* Eh... I think so... what happened exactly? I looked at you then I looked back and I fell. *shakes his head trying to clear away the odd spinning feeling*

Spiral: You tripped over that rock. *points*

Oroitz: *looks to the rock that he tripped over* No wonder my paw hurts. *narrows his eyes at the rock as if it's all it's fault he fell, pay no mind that he was the one not looking where he was going* So um... what do you wanna do now?

Spiral: Are you sure you're alright? *licks the injured paw in a concerned way*

Oroitz: *shudders as he feels her tongue on his paw* Yeah, i'm fine. *gets to his paws and runs around her, splashing water all over the place* See?

Spiral: okay. *laughs and starts splashing him back*

Oroitz: *blinks as water droplets rain down on him and grins before whipping his tail through the water, sending a torrent of it her way then turns and flees from the immediate vicinity of the pond to avoid being splashed back*

Spiral: *shakes the water off and chases after Oroitz again, this time catching him and causing them to roll for a few feet before they stopped with her pining him down.* Gotcha.

Oroitz: *struggles to get free from her as she pins him before finally just going limp* Ok ok, you got me... *suddenly pushes her with his hind feet so he can get to his paws again and darts towards her intending to tag her back*

Spiral: *recovers quickly and jumps, just barely dodging Oroitz* hehehe. *she leaps for him getting his tail between her paws*

Oroitz: *lets out a yelp of surprise as his tail is caught between her paws and he skids to a halt* Argh... you... *turns and leaps at her, pinning her to the ground beneath him, his tail lashing as he nips her shoulder playfully then runs away again* YOU'RE IT! *dissapears into the trees*

Spiral: Wait! *she chases after him, slowed down by the thick foliage.*

Oroitz: *slows down when he hears her having trouble in the thick brush then finally stops in a small clearing with a little creek running through it*

Spiral: *breaks through the brush and into the clearing with twigs and brambles stuck in her fur* Oroi...*she says in a low voice looking none to happy to have had to chase him through the bushes. She pounces on him and chews on his ear like a kitten would*

Oroitz: *turns as he hears the beginning of his name only to be knocked onto the ground and have his ear practically gnawed off* Oof! Hey I'm sorry, I didn't know your longer fur would get stuck in the branches, I don't have to think about stuff like that normally. Stop trying to eat my ear!! *rolls from side to side trying to shake her off*

Spiral: *she finally lets go of his ear, but lays ontop of him refusing to budge.* hmmpf.

Oroitz: *sighs with relief when she lets go of his ear but continues to struggle as she refuses to get off of him* Ugh! Get off! *finally resorts to giving her a big slobbery lick to the cheek in hopes it'll gross her out so he can get up*

Spiral: *merely shakes her head and licks his cheek back* Nice try.

Oroitz growled playfully as he continued to writhe beneath Spiral. He knew if he really wanted to he could force her off of him but he also knew that this was just a game and there was no need to be hasty and hurt her feelings. Finally her ear was within reach and he bit down on it just hard enough for her to be able to feel it and then he let go and batted at her ears with his forepaws while he continued to try and roll out from beneath her. "Aren't you ever going to let me up?" he complained with humor in his voice.

Oroitz was immediately on his paws as soon as he felt her weight lift off of him. In an instant he was at her side and nuzzling her cheek while making content purring noises. "Yes, I am happy now... but... I'm not free." He stared into her eyes, his own sparkled with happiness and playful energy. After a few moments he looked away towards the creek before he walked over to it and stared into the water at his reflection.

Oroitz turned his gaze to her as she sat down beside him and nuzzled his shoulder. "Look into the water... do you see the little fish? I am like those fish, life is taking me on a great adventure and I know that one day it will bring me back home... but... I don't know when that day will be or if I'll be strong enough to make it back...." he tapered off, not realizing that he had stopped speaking his thoughts aloud as he continued to ponder the meaning and goal of his life and consider the similarities between himself and the fish.

Oroitz turned his gaze to her once again as her head rested on his shoulder. He could sense she was tired and he gently nudged her so she was supporting herself again before he stood up and lead her to a tree that was hollowed out at the base. An old badger set but it was abandoned and would make a perfect place for a nap. He swished his tail, beckoning her to come over and go inside.

Oroitz smiled to himself as she investigated what was his home and when she found it to her liking she couldn't help but feel a rush of pride. "Um... a few months ago actually..." he answered her question a bit unsure of how she would react to knowing he hadn't really done much with his home other than clean out some of the old clumps of badger fur that were giving it a distinct musky smell.

Oroitz nodded when she spoke and slowly entered the hollow, careful not to step on her paws or tail he circled a few times before laying down next to her. "Are you comfortable?"

Oroitz nuzzled her cheek and rested his head on her shoulder while purring softly. "You're welcome." he mumbled as he closed his eyes and continued to purr softly, lulling her to sleep.

Oroitz had been dreaming of the simpler days, when he was a kit, and everything was taken care of for him, all he had to do was go along with the plans, then suddenly something was attacking him, he whirled in his dream but couldn't see anything and eventually he awakened, his fur fluffed up and he turned to see what was attacking him only to find Spiral. He shook his head and let his fur lay flat.

"You almost got yourself clawed to bits." he stated, in a softly scolding tone. "I'm not used to sharing a sleeping place with others anymore, I thought I was being attacked." shaking his head once more he rose to his paws and stretched before padding to the entrance of the hollow and shuddering. "Perfect." he grumbled.

Outside rain was coming down in buckets, the wind was howling, and thunder and lightning were making their prescence known. Looks like he wouldn't be taking Spiral home tonight.
